I wish we had time to stay a little longer.
Pros:

The place was so easy to find and so near many hangout joints. Gabriel and his staff were amazing. They made delicious breakfast for us with generous portions. The view of mt. Kilimanjaro from our room was simply magical.

Best booking.com experience I’ve had…thank you Gabriel and team.
Pros:

It was close to Moshi town and convenient for us. It was very safe very green and lush with the view of Mount Kilimanjaro every evening the staff were really amazing. The host and owner of the place Gabriel was really kind and very informative very on top of things we really loved it. He was very kind to us was even able to organize some activities for us. Highly recommend this accommodation. We would definitely be back anytime we are in Moshi thank you so much Gabrielle, Lucy and Lydia.

Ich wurde sofort sehr gut aufgenommen und fühlte mich gleich zuhause. Das Personal ist überaus freundlich und ich habe a
Pros:

Ich hatte eine tolle Aussicht zum Kilimandjaro und innden Garten der Anlage. Es war total ruhig und wunderschön. Auch dascFrühstück und das Essen kann ich bestens weiterempfehlen. Alles war perfekt und hat meine Vorstellungen übertroffen. Gabriel der Besitzer ist auch ein sehr guter Guide. Ich hatte während den vier Tagen ein volles Programm. Sehr beeindruckend war der Besuch einer Tansanit-Miene aber auch de Kilimandjaro-Hike, der Wasserfal und die heissen Quellen. Ich kann das Kilimandjaro Scenice Homestay mit bestem Gewissen weiterempfehlen.

Cons:

Es gibt nichts zu bemängeln.

Tolle Anlage, in der man sich wohl fühlt. Auch das Personal ist nett, nur etwas aufdringlich.
Pros:

Haben uns wohl gefühlt, schönes Zimmer mit guter Ausstattung. Gute Lage. Nettes Personal. Gutes Frühstück. Als wir krank waren haben sie uns extra einen Ingwer-Knoblauch Saft gemacht, was sehr aufmerksam war.

Cons:

Gastgeber zwar sehr nett, aber auch aufdringlich - möchte einem immer eine Tour/ Fahrt verkaufen, das empfanden wir unseriös. Ausserdem konnte man den Aufenthalt nur in Bar bezahlen, weshalb wir mehrfach Geld abheben mussten und jedes Mal auch Gebühre bezahlen mussten.

Es gab auch keinen RoomService, was für uns okay war, allerdings war auch die Seife und das Klopapier schnell leer. Auf Nachfrage hat man zwar alles bekommen, auch neue Handtücher aber hier hätten wir uns für ein Hotel mehr Proaktivität gewünscht.

Cons:

Aufdringlicher Besitzer, der einem extrem teure Ausflüge sofort bei Ankunft verkaufen will.
Die Lage ist sehr weit von Moshi entfernt und bei Dunkelheit ist es nicht sicher in der Gegend.

Perfect Getaway in Moshi.
Pros:

Gabriel's place was perfect for my needs. I shared the room with my daughter during the Kili marathon weekend. The meals were perfect, especially the breakfast and ugali and chicken curry for dinner. They were flexible enough to make our breakfast after the marathon and gave us something to eat before the run. The place is quiet and tucked away.
